Psalm chapter 119, verse 82.

My eyes long for your promise.

I ask, when will you comfort me?

What a great, honest prayer and question before God to say my eyes long for your promise, oh God.

I ask you, when will you comfort me?

We can all identify, right, times in our lives where we need comfort.

We're wondering why certain things are happening, the way they're happening.

And our longing in those moments is for God's promise, the fulfillment of God's promise.

Like Romans 828, God promises to work all things together for the good of those who love him

have been called according to his purpose.

But there are times when we long to see that promise like, God, what is the good you

are working in this? When will you work this together

for good? When will you comfort me? My eyes long to see your promise in action. So, as we are

praying for specific needs in light of this pandemic, people sending in prayer requests to radical.net slash prayer

requests. Let me encourage you to continue to do that. I read this, and it's actually pretty long.

I can't read it all, but from Chris in Tennessee. He's an elder at a church there and serves as C.O.

at a local hospital. And long story short, in mid-March,

came down with a fever. At this time, in his area, there had been hardly any reported cases of

COVID-19. But he ended up getting tested, quarantine in his basement away from his wife

and his kids, doing face-time dinners with them, and then found out he was positive.

And so obviously was sick, was further quarantined away from his family.
